(More customer reviews)We've been using "the bunny", as we call it, for 3 months. Initially I was very frustrated and disappointed when it arrived, but am very happy with it over the long term. I just wish it had batteries. If I were to buy again, I'd get the sheep version.
Pros: very effective as an indicator of sleep/wake time. My 2-year old had no trouble understanding the idea.
Cons: no battery. all settings reset when the bunny us unplugged
Initial setup does take some time. About 20 minutes. Not because the instructions are hard to understand, but the settings take a bit of time to get right.
The first thing my son did was run over and press the buttons, and then pull it to take it with him and unplug it from the wall. So initially it looked like this might not work for a child that loves buttons. This only lasted a short time however. The buttons don't result in any interactivity, so my son now ignores them and knows to leave the bunny on the table.
The success of the bunny as an indicator of when to wake up will depend on how consistent the parents are with allowing the child to get out of bed when the bunny is still asleep. We had some time when our son was sick and we stopped paying attention to this, and over the next few weeks he again started to wake up early. Since then we've started over... the first time, I went into his room and stayed with him in bed until we watched the bunny change, and then we got up. The next day when he called me I reminded him about the bunny a couple of times. On the fourth day our son called me exactly at the set time, from which I gather that he'd been watching it quietly.
The best things about this model:
- you don't have to manually turn on the "sleep" mode. I like that the bunny sleeps/wakes automatically at the set times.
- it's silent
- it's an extra night light
Problems:
- no battery, so if you need to move it, you set all the settings again.
- not bright enough for nap-time use. It's almost impossible to tell whether the bunny is sleeping or awake if the room is relatively bright. This might also come up as a problem for summer mornings, we haven't gotten there yet.

Kid'sleep ClassicThe Kid'Sleep has many benefits, as a night light, wake-up indicator for young children and an alarm clock for older children. It helps young children have an understanding of when it is time to get out of bed and when it is not. It is a great tool for nighttime self regulation, and the result is that both parents and children get more sleep. The Kid'Sleep Classic helps kids stay in bed until it is time to get up. If the sleeping bunny's picture is lit, kids know to stay in bed. When the awake bunny is illuminated, it is okay to get out of bed and start the day. The Kid'Sleep Classic has dual nighttime/naptime settings and an optional alarm (which is a very sweet bird chirping sound followed by a rooster crowing), in addition to three levels of brightness. The Kid'Sleep Classic comes in blue (bunny) or pink (cow). The Kid'Sleep products do not require kids to have color recognition. They naturally relate to the sleeping or awake animal.7" x 7" x 3",Blue
